What Is Blood Cancer?
9. How Can You Get a Second Opinion for Blood Cancer?
After you’re diagnosed with blood cancer, you may wish to get a second opinion. You may want to get a second opinion if you’re dealing with a rare type of blood cancer, you are not comfortable with the recommended treatment decision, or you are trying to decide between multiple treatment options for your condition.
You can get a second opinion by having your primary doctor recommend a specialist, such as a radiation oncologist, hematologist, or medical oncologist. You can also get recommendations and referrals from medical schools, hospitals, or local cancer advocacy groups. You may also wish to talk to others who currently have or have recovered from the same type of cancer you have.
